Submarine
Submarine is the second studio album by American alternative pop band the Marías, released on May 31, 2024. The album received positive reviews from critics. The album marked their first studio release since Cinema, released in 2021.
After finishing their Cinema tour promoting their previous album, María Zardoya and Josh Conway ended their relationship and the band took a six-month hiatus in which they spent four months apart before the first sessions which would later become Submarine. The band members collectively went to therapy and used the emotional process of the breakup to inform their music. The film Three Colours: Blue inspired many elements of the album, including the "very intentional" colour palette shift from red to blue.
In the lead up to Submarine, four singles were released. "Run Your Mouth" was released on March 7, 2024 alongside a music video. The song was written shortly after their breakup in which María felt "conflict avoidant" at the time, and the song had also previously been performed on tour since 2022. "Lejos De Ti" was released alongside another video on April 5, 2024, which was shot at Lake Tahoe. The final two singles, "If Only" and "No One Noticed", were released on May 3, 2024 simultaneously. On May 28, 2024, over 100 record stores across the United States held public listening parties for Submarine, where exclusive merch was sold and the Marías' new album was played. The album was released on May 31, 2024.
